Description
The CRT Pharmacy team was set up in 2019 providing services to Newport, Caerphilly and Torfaen.

Due to the continued success of the service, further investment has been secured to extend the service to all 5 boroughs.

This ambitious expansion involves recruitment of 3 more Clinical Pharmacists, 3 more Pharmacy Technicians and 2 Pharmacy Assistants to join our existing established team.


The 2 new Band 5 Pharmacy Technician posts will be based in South Monmouthshire CRT in Chepstow, and Blaenau Gwent CRT in Ebbw Vale.

The comprehensive extension to current funding endorses the contribution of this Intermediate Care Pharmacy team.

The new funding will allow a roll out of the service to all boroughs within the Gwent Region as well as integration and redesign of the Pharmacy service provided to the Community hospital rehabilitation wards of South Monmouthshire and Torfaen.


The team currently provide a Pharmacy service to Frailty Consultant led 'hospital at home' patients, Therapies/Social Care-led Reablement patients, Nurse-led home parenteral service patients (including IV antimicrobials) and Community Falls patients.


We also take referrals from acute ward Pharmacy staff to ensure that frail/vulnerable patients are supported in taking medicines post discharge.

Our role involves regular MDT meetings, home visits, virtual ward rounds and data collection and analysis of contributions to patient care.

Each day brings a new challenge, the chance to learn from those around us, job satisfaction and an opportunity to further develop the service


The new funding will lead to the exciting integration and redesign of the Pharmacy service provided to the community hospital rehabilitation wards of South Monmouthshire and Torfaen.


With a unique role working across the primary/secondary care interface, you will build excellent relationships with community, practice based and hospital colleagues.

The ability to speak Welsh is desirable for this post; English and/or Welsh speakers are equally welcome to apply.
